Hello steelfriends,

Find a nice clip from Clinton Gregory. But who is the steelplayer on that Mullen guitar. I'll think it's Mr. Ronn Elliot. But if that so that must be a long time ago. Here it is.

Thanks,
Marcel

Thank you Bobby,

I met you and Ron in the Millenium a couple off times. Yes Ron has a lot of humour and he has a great soft and tastefull touch in his hands.

I hope I can come to St.Louis this year as well.
Thanks Ron for the great picking

Ron is one of my favourites, I have every CD he has done so far. I was only sorry I couldn't get over to Ireland to see him at the festival. One day, one day for sure.

Ron, You sounded great with Clinton. I use to have a friend (Keven Grant)who played bass with Clinton. Did you know him ? I've lost track of him over the years. Anyway are you comming to Dallas and to Mount Vernon IL this year ? I would love to hear you again. I like your website especially that photo of you and Buddy.
Later

Thanks Bill, I will not be in Dallas this year, but will be in Mt. Vernon, Il. As to Keven, I, too, have not been in contact with him. Last I knew of Clinton, he was opening, singing parts, and playing fiddle with Gene Watson. Take care, and we'll see you in Illinois in April. Ron

Hello Ron,

I now Buddy had in the early's a great Sierra. But I saw a picture from you when you had also a white Sierra with golden end plates and keyless tuners. Wow! Where's is this guitar now?

If you get a chance, liston to Clinton Gregory sing "If a broken heart could kill". It's on one of his early CDs. It's soul country to the bone.

Another of my favorite Clinton Gregory songs is a beautifully handeled tune... "Couldn't Love Have Picked a Better To Die".Last I heard,..Clinton is opening, singing parts, and playing fiddle with Gene Watson....He's a good one! Thanks, Ron
